What do you think of them? Mine have just arrived and I am umming and aaahhing whether I like them or not. I am not impressed by how flimsy the full panel band is, and how the do weird things to my butt. It kind of cuts it half, but in a weird way. I am now sitting in them trying to decide if I should keep them or not. I am at the point of needing maternity jeans though.

I had to size down as well because my true size made my butt look funny. I did the demi panel and I like it but it does make my "bump" look a little funny.
The pants overall are comfortable and I think they look pretty good now that I have a size that fits.
Ok, I had them on for about 15 minutes and they had stretched and were a bit like tracksuit trousers. I think I might send them back. They not meant for me. I will constantly be hiking them back up.
I now have my Vertbaudet ones on. I thought they were too tight, DH says they look ok. They fit similiar to the GAP ones, but I have less stretch in them so I am not hiking them up. I have a PTA meeting tonight. I am going to wear them to the meeting and then decide if I like them or not. I have 2 pairs of them. I bought them for my last pregnancy, but picked up some weight between then and now so they tighter than they were. I do like that they have an adjustable waist. That seems to help the hiking situation.
I tried them on over the weekend and wasn't a fan. Of course, the only jeans I liked were $200 jeans from a Pea in the Pod. I think I can get away with wearing jeans entirely if I keep living in leggings/ tunics for the next several weeks before changing to dresses when it warms up. Jeans shopping has been awful for me.
I guess you're returning them, so my verdict doesn't matter but...
I liked them overall. I've had to hike them up several times, but I think that might just be the nature of maternity jeans. They didn't seem to stretch too much, but I've only worn them for a few hours. I like the color, I like the length, I really hope they don't shrink too much. The long length was back ordered about 1.5 months. Hope this helps someone!
Ok, I know you said you're returning, but I'll chime in. All of my mat jeans are this style and I like them a lot! I did need to size down for a better fit, but I haven't had any issues with quality in terms of the panel or anything like that. I've basically been wearing them every day (I have three pairs) and I get about three wears out of them before I need to wash. They stretch out a touch but not a lot for me.
I have a few pairs of the Gap Sexy Boot maternity jeans, but they are all demi panel. I really liked them for early in my pregnancy, but now that I'm getting closer to the end the demi panels are SO uncomfortable (but I think this is just the nature of demi panels). Full panel all the way. But I don't know how these jeans would work with a full panel. The only full panels that I've liked are the Secret Fit Belly from Motherhood Maternity.
I have the full panel. I don't like demi panels for the reason you mentioned, they get uncomfortable quickly. I've only worn the jeans once so far, but he panel felt comfortable and to be expected.
